Arsenal star Myles Lewis-Skelly has been left out of the latest England squad after Thomas Tuchel warned him over a lack of playing time.

The full back had been part of the Three Lions' squad for World Cup qualifiers last month, but Tuchel had raised doubts over his future.

Tuchel had admitted a lack of starts for the Gunners could become a 'problem' for Lewis-Skelly as he insisted England players need to perform for their clubs on a regular basis.

'To just be a good citizen in camp will not be enough over the course of a year,' Tuchel said.

'He was a very good player in camp, a very good team-mate in camp. But being a good team-mate in camp may not be good enough to stay the whole year with us.

'You have to perform at club level on a regular basis. In the last camp he got the credit, that I was convinced we have to take care of him and nominate him because we accelerated his career. It was our responsibility after we called him last season. So we stick to this.'
